The site is located on Lot I, Block I, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 8th Addition and has an area of 3.28 acres. It is zoned lOP, Industriat Office Park, and is bordered by Lake Drive West to the south and Mallory Court to the east. Access to the site is gained via a driveway off of Mallory Court. The building is designed in a "U" shape to hide the loading docks from views. The docks are located in the center of the "U". The applicant is proposing to utilize pre-colored (tan) rockface block as the main material on the building. A dark brown rock face block is used along the base of the building and to frame entrances into the building. The entrances into the building are recessed, mainly glass, and are capped by 5 tiers of gray metal flashing. A gray metal canopy further defines each door. The walls along the east and west side of the loading docks are not shown on the plans. Staff is assuming that the same materials and architectural treatment will be carried on through these walls. The design of the building provides variation in form through stepped back elevations along the south and east. The overall design provides variation and detail on the facade of the building. Parking is located along the south and east portions of the site. The southerly parking lot is located approximately 10 feet below the elevation of Lake Drive West, which provides adequate screening. However, at the corner of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West, the elevation of the parking lot and Lake Drive West become comparable. Staff is recommending the applicant incorporate a meandering berm with landscaping, 3 to 4 feet in height along the easterly and southeasterly portion of the site to adequately screen the parking. Site landscaping must be increased to meet minimum ordinance requirements. A parking lot light plan is required. The plan should incorporate the light style, height, and photo-metrics. Also, a detailed sign plan, which includes lighting method, has to be submitted. The applicant explained that trash dumpsters will be located inside the building. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. In summary, with the incorporation of staff recommendations the proposed site plan application would meet ordinance requirements, and staff is recommending approval with conditions outlined in the staff report. Lot I, Block I, CLBP 8th SPR February 14, 2000 Page 3 GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed office/warehouse building, with an area of 43,000 square feet, will be situated on the northwest corner of the intersection of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West. The site is bordered by Lake Drive West to the south, a vacant industrial site to the north and Mallory Court to the east. The site located south of Lake Drive West is zoned PUD-R and is proposed to be occupied by apartment buildings (Powers Ridge). Access to the building is proposed from Mallory Court. Parking will be located along the south and east portion of the site. Screening of the parking lot can be improved by incorporating a meandering berm with landscaping, 3 to 4 feet in height along the east and southeast corner of the site. Materials used on the "U" shaped building, are pre-colored rock face block on all four elevations. Entrances into the building are recessed glass, capped with metal flashing and a projecting metal canopy. Brown rock face block columns further define the entrances. The "U" shaped building is designed to screen the loading docks from views by locating the loading area in the center of the "U". The east and west walls on either side of the loading area are not shown on the "EXTERIOR ELEV A nONS" plan. The same architectural treatment is required on these walls. The applicant explained that trash will be located inside the building. Current state statutes require that recycling space be provided for all new buildings. The area of the recycling space must be dedicated at the rate specified in Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) 1300.4700 Subp. 5. The applicant should demonstrate the required area will be provided in addition to the space required for other solid waste collection space. Recycling space and other solid waste collection space should be contained within the same enclosure. Rooftop equipment and mechanical equipment are not shown on the plans. All equipment must be screened from views. The building is located 68 feet from the north, 110 feet from the east, 102 from the south, and 30 feet from the westerly property line. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall cousider the development's compliance with the following: (I) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; Lot I, Block I, CLBP 8th SPR February 14,2000 Page 4 (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, and the site plan review requirements. The site design is compatible with the surrounding development. It is functional and harmonious with the approved development for this area. Lot I, Block I, CLBP Sth SPR February 14,2000 Page 5 GRADING In conjunction wi1h the development of Chanhassen Lakes Business Park (CLBP) 7th and Sth Additions, the developer rough graded the building site and constructed the infrastructure and street system to serve the site. The approved grading plan for CLBP Sth Addition suggested a first floor elevationof9l9.0 for the site, which is I.S feet lower than the proposed grading plan (920.S). The site was left higher due to an unexpected excess of material that was generated between the 7th and Sth Additions. The developer of CLBP 7th and Sth Additions, Eden Trace, which is also the applicant in this submittal, has not requested city approval for a revised grading plan for the Sth Addition. Upon comparison of the change in building elevation, it is the Engineering Department's position that the revised elevation of920.S should not adversely affect the sight lines or characteristics of the neighboring parcels. The sight lines from Lake Drive West towards this site should not be a noticeable change given the grade of Lake Drive West. The elevation of the southerly parking lot will vary between one foot above Lake Drive West in the southeast corner of the site to nine feet below Lake Drive West in the southwest corner. The first floor elevation of the building will be approximately six feet higher (mid point of the building) than Mallory Court and up to nine feet lower than Lake Drive West (in the southwest corner of the site). The vast difference in grades is due to the topographic change in the area. The top of the building will be approximately the same elevation as the top of the hill to the west (940.0). Staff has two concerns with regards to the grading plan. One is drainage around the west side of the building and theother is maintaining a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court. A 6-foot wide sidewalk still needs to be built along the west side of Mallory Court this spring thus the need for a 2.0% boulevard. The final grading plans will need to show how a drainage swale is to be constructed along the west side of the building to insure positive drainage away from the building and a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court. Staff also recommends berming in the southeasterly portion of the site to help screen the parking lot from the intersection of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West. Staff is recommending approval ofthe proposed building elevation with the conditions outlined in this report. Erosion control measures (silt fencing, rock construction entrance) are in general accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. The location of the silt fence may be modified after a detail review of the final grading plan. In addition, erosion control blanket will be required on all areas in excess of 3:1 slopes. DRAINAGE The stormwater runoff from the parking lotslbuilding will be conveyed via storm sewers into Mallory Court where the storm sewers will discharge into a regional stormwater pond located east of the site for pretreatment pursuant to the City's Surface Water Management Plan. The Lot I, Block I, CLBP 8th SPR February 14,2000 Page 6 storm sewer system on the site shall be privately constructed by the applicant and owned and maintained by the applicant upon completion. Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff from the site. The drainage calculations for a 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm event (rational method) shall be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is available to the site from Mallory Court. However, at this time the City has not approved or accepted the utility improvements; therefore, connection will not be permitted pursuant to the development contract. The developer needs to complete an outstanding punch list and formally request the City to accept the utility improvements prior to connection. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require plumbing permits and inspections through the City's Building Department. All utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the city's latest edition of standard specifications and detail plates and/or state plumbing codes. STREETSIP ARKING The parking lot appears to be fairly well laid out. Access will be from Mallory Court. The drive aisles and parking stall widths appear to meet city codes. The developer of the plat will be providing an industrial driveway apron on Mallory Court. The city's parking ordinance requires 4.5 parking stalls per 1,000 square feet of office (49 stalls) and one stall per square feet of warehouse area (33 stalls). The total parking spaces required by ordinance are 82. The applicant is providing 107 spaces. A six-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be constructed along the west side of Mallory Court out to Lake Drive West in conjunction with CLBP Sth Addition. The city will be completing an eight-foot wide asphalt trail along the north side of Lake Drive West as well this spring. The applicant should be required to extend a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk from the parking lot to Mallory Court to provide for pedestrian traffic movement.

The approved grading plan for CLBP 8th Addition suggested a first floor elevation of919.0 for the site, which is 1.8 feet lower than the proposed grading plan (920.8). The site was left higher due to an unexpected excess of material that was generated between the 7th and 8th Additions. The developer ofCLBP 7th and 8th Additions, Eden Trace, which is also the applicant in this submittal, has not requested city approval for a revised grading plan for the 8th Addition. Upon comparison of the change in building elevation, it is the Engineering Department's position that the revised elevation of920.8 should not adversely affect the sight lines or characteristics of the neighboring parcels. The sight lines from Lake Drive West towards this site should not be a noticeable change given the grade of Lake Drive West. The elevation of the southerly parking lot will vary between one foot above Lake Drive West in the southeast corner of the site to nine feet below Lake Drive West in the southwest corner. The first floor elevation ofthe building will be approximately six feet higher (mid point ofthe building) than Mallory Court and up to nine feet lower than Lake Drive West (in the southwest corner of the site). The vast difference in grades is due to the topographic change in the area. The top of the building will be approximately the same elevation as the top ofthe hill to the west (940.0). Staffhas two concerns with regards to the grading plan. One is drainage around the west side of the building and the other is maintaining a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court. A 6- foot wide sidewalk still needs to be The City of ChdUhllSltII, A J'Jowinr community with dtan lakel. auality Ichools. a cha""in! downtown.

Sharmin Al-Jaff January 12, 2000 Page 2 built along the west side of Mallory Court this spring thus the need for a 2.0% boulevard. The final grading plans will need to show how a drainage swale is to be constructed along the west side ofthe building to insure positive drainage away from the building and a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court. Staff also recommends berming in the southeasterly portion of the site to help screen the parking lot from the intersection of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed building elevation with the conditions outlined in this report. Erosion control measures (silt fencing, rock construction entrance) are in general accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. The location of the silt fence may be modified after a detail review of the final grading plan. In addition, erosion control blanket will be required on all areas in excess 00: I slopes. DRAINAGE The stormwater runoff from the parking lotslbuilding will be conveyed via storm sewers into Mallory Court where the storm sewers will discharge into a regional stormwater pond located east of the site for pretreatment pursuant to the City's Surface Water Management Plan. The storm sewer system on the site shall be privately constructed by the applicant and owned and maintained by the applicant upon completion. Detailed storm drainage calculations will be required to determine if there are sufficient catch basins being provided to convey surface water runoff from the site. The drainage calculations for a 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm event (rational method) shall be submitted to the City for review and approval at time of building permit application. UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water is available to the site from Mallory Court. However, at this time the City has not approved or accepted the utility improvements; therefore, connection will not be permitted pursuant to the development contract. The developer needs to complete an outstanding punch list and formally request the City to accept the utility improvements prior to connection. Installation of the private utilities throughout the site (i.e. storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water) will require plumbing permits and inspections through the City's Sharmin Al-Jaff January 12,2000 Page 3 .,R,,;M;"B Depanment. All utility improvements shall be constructed in accordance with 'the dty'strtest edition of standard specifications and detail plates and/or «atepWmbing oodes. STJUŒTS.œARKING The parking lot appears to be fairly well laid out. Access will be from Mallory Court. The drive aisles and parking stall widths appear to meet city codes. The developer of the plat will be providing an industrial driveway apron on Mallory Court. Asìx-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be constructed along the west side of Mallory Court out to Lake Drive West in conjunction with CLBP 8th Addition. The city will be completing an eight-foot wide asphalt trail along the north side of Lake Drive West as well this spring. The applicant should be required to extend a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk from the parking lot to Mallory Court to provide for pedestrian traffic movement. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. De1ai1ed storm drainage calculations for a 10-year, 24-hour storm event '~haBbesubmitted to the City for review and approval prior to issuance of .a building permit. 2. Instal1atron ofthe private utilities throughout the site will require building permits through the City's Building Department. All utility improvements shali be constructed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and/or state plumbing codes. 3. The~licant shall construct a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk from the parlångfot to Mallory Court. 4. The-proposed driveway access shall incorporate an industrial driveway apIÐD. andlledestrian ramps on the plans in accordance with City Detail PlaœNo.5207. 5. The applicant will need to provide financial security in the amount of $2,500 to guarantee the boulevard restoration and erosion control measures. Security may be in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow, which will be returned upon satisfactorily completing the project. Sharmin Al-Jaff January 12, 2000 Page 4 6. All areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored with seed and disc mulched or wood-fiber blanket or sod in accordance with the approved plans within two weeks upon the completion of each activity in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook. 7. All private streets/driveways shall be constructed to support a minimum of 7-ton per axle design weight in accordance with City Code 20-1118. 8. The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agency, i.e. Watershed District. 9. The applicant shall incorporate berms along the southeast portion of the site to screen the south and east parking lots from the intersection of Mallory Court and Lake Drive West. No berming is permitted within the City's right-of-way. Landscaping improvements may be permitted subject to staff review and approvaL 10. The applicant shall revise the grading plans to show how a drainage swale is to be constructed along the west side of the building to insure positive drainage away from the building and a 2.0% boulevard grade within the right of way of Mallory Court.

NORTH OF LAKE DRIVE WEST ON MALLORY COURT. ANDREAS DEVELOPMENT. Sharmin AI-Jaffpresented the staff report on this item. Peterson: Any questions for staff? Kind: For a change, no. Can you believe it? Peterson: No. Would the applicant or their designee wish to address the commission? Ifso, please come forward and state your name and address please. Mark Undestad: Hello. Mark Undestad, 8800 Sunset Trail, Chanhassen here. Whittling down our lots out there. This one actually from the landscaping on there, we are going to increase landscaping through the entire site and the owner of this building, Andreas Development and ourselves are going to kind of take care of a little more around the entrance of Mallory Court is kind of it's own little park within a park down there. This one. The one that's coming up next and then the building we're already starting construction on back there. They all tie together into this one. I don't really have a lot to add to it. Another project in Chanhassen and staff, we kind of just plug away and try to make them look nice. Do you have any questions? Peterson: So the colors on this one, me being color blind, I was trying to tie this building with the next one and with the other one that's going on the closest to it. Are they similar colors? Are they the same? Mark Undestad: They're similar. The architect, RSP Architects we've hired, they've designed all the projects. All the buildings. So they've tried to kind of carry a little bit of a theme through it but not make cookie cutter. This is that one, that one's that one so, but they are similar. I wouldn't say they're exact colors. I mean if you look at, this would be the building next to it. The brown's a little redder. The gray's a little grayer but still in the earth tones and stuff. Peterson; Other questions of the applicant? Thank you. Mark Undestad: Thank you. 23 Planning Commission Meeting - January 19, 2000 Peterson: May I have a motion and a second for a public hearing please. Kind moved, Conrad seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened. Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the commission please come forward and state your name and address please. Burton moved, Blackowiak seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was closed. Peterson: Public hearing's closed. Commissioners, comments. Burton: Mr. Chairman, I think it's a nice looking project and I think the staff report does a good job with it. Conrad: One question Mr. Chairman to staff. Connectivity to the sidewalk. We constantly hit that Sharmin. What's our policy? What are we. Al-Jaff: We want them accessible to pedestrians in general. There is a sidewalk along Mallory Court that is not shown on the plan. Are you referring to the parking lot? Conrad: Well just curious. Giving connection from that building out to the main street. A sidewalk going to the main sidewalk. What is that, Lake Drive West? So do we have a policy? There is a sidewalk that runs into that court or not? Al-Jaff: There is a walkway through here. And then the sidewalk is along here. Conrad: Okay, there is one there? AI-Jaff: Yes, there is. Conrad: Okay, that's all I need to know. Peterson: Other comments? Kind: Mr. Chairman, I have a comment. Ladd reminds me of my usual crosswalk question for Dave. Where will it be along, where will they, if how many are there and where will they be along Lake Drive West in relationship to Sunset Ridge Park? You probably answered this for me before but I don't recall. You probably don't either. Hempel: Mr. Chairman, commissioners. Currently there is one crosswalk located on Lake Drive West at the park entrance, which is quite a ways to the west from this site. The apartment site was proposing right in that location there is the only crosswalk along Lake Drive West. 24 Planning Commission Meeting - January 19,2000 Kind: So these businesses wanting to go over to the park for lunch or whatever, would convene in this area to cross? Hempel: Use the north trail along 1he Lake Drive West and they cross. Kind: And then with this previous project, the apartment building project, there will be an 8 foot bituminous path along the south side to SunsefRidge Park. It wasn't really clear to m~.in thea how far that would go along the south side. Will it just pretty much bee line to the park? Is that how it will work? Hempel: It will essentially duplicate your north sidewalk which will run all the way from Powers Boulevard along Lake Drive West to the park. On the south side. Kind: Okay. Along the side and then it'd be like a perpendicular stub path down to the park, is that how it will work or? Hempel: There will be sidewalks to the drive access points. From the drive access points. The apartments and the sidewalk will continue, the trail will continue along, all the way down to the park along the south side of the road. Kind: I'm just thinking about these businesses, they would be able to use that same path to the park potentially. Hempel: Correct. Kind: If they wanted to go have a lunch there, whatever. Hempel: We-dHin 'twantto.designate a Cl"osswalk if you will in that area with the level, number of pedestrians -crossittg woö1d be faidy low and wouldn't really warrant a crosswalk. Kind: I agree. We don't want a crosswalk every 10 feet. Thank you for refreshing my memory. Peterson: I'll entertain a motion please. Kind: Mr. Chairman, I move the Planning Commission recommends approval of Site Plan #2000-1 for a 43,000 square foot office warehollllC.'building to be located on Lot I, Block I, Chanhassen Lakes Business Park 8th Addition asØwn on the plans dated received December 17, subject to the following conditions I through24.
